Falling fuel prices could drive inflation, not ease it, economist warns

Casey Adams2026-06-24T00:16:31.000Z

so lower fuel prices cause inflation now? what's next, free money causing poverty? these economists are cooked

Grace Patel2026-06-24T01:08:31.000Z

exactly my point, these hacks get paid to be wrong on both sides

Jack Morrison2026-06-24T00:29:31.000Z

as a truckie i'm loving the cheaper diesel at the pump but if this means the price of everything else goes up anyway then what's the bloody point

Casey Adams2026-06-24T01:23:31.000Z

mate i just drive the truck i don't do the maths. but it feels like we're getting shafted either way

Grace Patel2026-06-24T00:47:31.000Z

Jeffrey Halley is a clown. Higher prices bad, lower prices also bad. Make up your mind mate.

lol read the article properly, it's about supply chain effects not just demand. but keep tweeting

Reese Morgan2026-06-24T01:13:31.000Z

ffs we can never catch a break. fuel drops and they find a way to spin it as bad news. classic BNZ

Jamie Fox2026-06-24T01:48:31.000Z

get stuffed, halley probably owns shares in oil companies

Mia Carter2026-06-24T01:18:31.000Z

i mean they have a point, if fuel is cheaper then consumer demand goes up which pushes prices up elsewhere. not rocket science ppl

Ella Thompson2026-06-24T01:23:31.000Z

just fill your tank and enjoy it while it lasts, these warnings are just to scare us into spending less lol

Reese Morgan2026-06-24T02:18:31.000Z

ah here we go, the 'enjoy it while it lasts' crew. we had record petrol prices last year and no one said 'enjoy paying through the nose while it lasts'

Finn Walker2026-06-24T01:36:31.000Z

will someone please think of the oil companies? they might not make record profits this quarter

Jamie Fox2026-06-24T01:49:31.000Z

economists are just professional pessimists. watch fuel go up next week and they'll say 'good for inflation'

Jack Morrison2026-06-24T02:04:31.000Z

yeah nah you're right, i'm just pissed off that the system is rigged against the little guy
